Still Sicky

Poor Jayson projectile vomited a couple of times this morning! Last night I went to bed relieved because I thought that he could only get better. I should have known better! When I got him out of bed he said "Oh, I still don't feel better Mommy." Kids are so resilient though, and he somehow managed to stay hydrated (enough) and by the time Jay got home from work Jayson had a bit of color in his cheeks and he ate and drank quite a bit. He even played for a few minutes which he hasn't been doing for the past couple of days so I really hope that when he wakes up after a full night of rest he gets back to being his same old self. Another day closer to moving and so much left to do still!

Jayson and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

Today was pretty miserable for two of us. Jayson woke up feeling awful. He has sores all over his throat and mouth and (still) has a fever. He followed me around whenever I needed to do something (I know..I couldn't just sit there with him all day!?) crying and drooling and being as dramatic as possible. The doctor said that as long as he is still having (ahem) output I shouldn't worry too terribly and that he's seen it a lot this week. I feel terrible for him because he was supposed to go on a father son camp out with the Stake this Friday and there's no way he'll be able to make it. I feel terrible for me too. Ha, ha! On a good note: Jay did a great job on his presentation at work today and he's now officially certified as an instructor. We're very proud of him. He's been working really hard at work to get ready for his big position change. Other big news today: Aidan crawled for about one second last night! We're all so talented in our family!!

We're a cesspool of germs!

So Jay's sty is healing nicely now and I took the last of my antibiotics for Mastitis yesterday. The Staph Infection in my nose looks gross but it is healing and we thought all was on the mend. However, Jayson woke up feeling awful with a fever and sore throat so I took him to get his throat swabbed and we'll know by tomorrow if it's Strep Throat. Meanwhile, he's laying around eating jello and cottage cheese. As he was eating earlier he stopped and said "ouch!" I asked him if his throat hurt and he said "no, I just spiced myself." (in other words, "yes Mom, my throat hurts." It was cute and sad at the same time.

There's a First Time for Everything!

Today we found out that Jay's official start date for his consulting job in DC is June 15th so we've got a lot to do in a very short amount of time! We're all super excited to move! Jayson will be able to play at the playground then jump in the pool! We had a productive Memorial Day weekend...we cleaned the laundry room, did some yard work, and packed some things to prepare for the move. We also went to visit Jesse's grave and someone had brought 20 beautiful roses for him! It was such a sweet gesture and we're grateful to know that he is in the thoughts of our friends and family. Natalie went on Monday as well and we just really appreciate it. We had a BBQ with Matt and Tina yesterday in spite of the pouring rain and they tried out their new grill. It was very tasty. They even had a rotisserie chicken! Jayson and Mckinnon fought with each other for a few hours and were very sad to part when we left. They're the best of friends. Today Jay took Jayson to Mutual for a service project and they rototilled a ward member's garden. They're getting ready for the Stake Father/Son Camp out this Friday. I got a haircut today-it just gets shorter and shorter every time I go and I love it! Our firsts for today? Jayson: First hot dog...since yesterday. Aidan: first time eating a mixture of vegetables instead of just one mushed vegetable at a time. Steph: First blog post. Jay: first day in the last almost week that his eye hasn't pounded with pain..he has a sty in his eye! Eeeww!
